Dear L. B.!

I am sending you a copy of our reply to Muller (Albert will send the reply from Leipzig tomorrow).

Albert will also send you our reply as a printed sheet. (Postscript to the pamphlet "Zur gegenwartigen Sachlage" etc.*). Distribute this sheet as widely as possible, along with the pamphlet.

The Germans must be pressed on this point: before the liquidators' publication (liquidation conference) and verification through open discussion in the press, not a single word of theirs can be believed.

We have information from Berlin that the liquidators have suffered a fiasco. Among other things, Alexinsky has left their conference and is threatening exposures.

Write soon about how things stand.

Yours, Lenin
